Abstract:
"Seven women (five isolated figures), probably representing courtesans who paraded in Bond Street, arranged in two rows, each with a caption: 'A La Mode Beef' stout, fashionable, and flamboyant, a small sunshade dangling from her hand. 'Rump of Beef' plainly dressed, fat, and with flexed knees. B'reast of Veal', with projecting breasts much exposed. 'Veal Cutlets', two simpering girls walking arm-in-arm. 'Baron of Beef', a vast woman, walking aggressively, wearing a fur stole, her hands in a muff. 'Pork Sausage', a long thin woman."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
